Proposal for default piece set

[Sadsnake1]

If you build it, they will come. That is what I've heard. People begged me to create it. I've answered. 

The days of Cburnett are over. Lichess needs a default premium chess set. Lichess needs to become the greatest chess experience of all. It needs it. 

If you build it, they will come. That is what I've heard.

I present Libra. The ultimate chess set. Your last set. Your mom's favorite. The new kid. The most convenient. The most elegant. Numero uno. Perfectly balanced in every way.

It picks up every little thing that I've learned about chess sets. Simple, robust, best readability, best size, best pointy bishop, best serious horsey, you name it, does it look like maestro, yes, does it look like merida, for sure, does it have a bit of cburentt in it, fuck yea, is it professional, yup-yup. By using this set, your elo will increase by several hundred; heck, even Tyler1 uses it.

And yes, it even has a dropshadow, hence the size (maybe we can compress it further). Just give it a go. And also, yes, I will come up with new premium sounds, but I'm still learning. Have faith.

What, you don't like pointy bishops? Sike kid, but this is the way to do it. What horsey doesn't smile when he does the lil jumpy-jump? Nobody cares, amigo; use this and you'll see the difference. 

When you pull out this set, time stops. It is the chess equivalent of pulling a blue-eyed white dragon. It is legendary. When you use this, your opponent's accuracy score drops by 20%. You didn't even knew that something like this even existed. It is a must. If you don't have it, you're not even in the game.

Have you ever seen Pulp Fiction? Do you remember that shiny briefcase? Yeah, these pieces were in that muthafuckin briefcase. People died for it. Heck, even Frodo and Sam tried to destroy it, but they couldn't.

People will rally around lichess to play with it. Chess.com will try to steal it from us. Magnus will try to steal it from us.

But we all know now. We all know. Only Lichess has it. 

Only we have it.

It's "he will come", but I get where you are coming from. A piece set of dreams.

I'm not talking about kevin costner's dad dude. I'm talking about other players, coming to lichess, worshiping this set as the one and only.

Jokes aside, cburnett is old, looks jagged as a mf. A new era is coming. I just tested the lichess app and is sleek af, fast and sweet. It has so much potential. The only thing it misses out is a personality. A good OG board and a good piece set, ready from the get go and to stay away from the arcade looking sets.

I really tried to scramble my head about piece sets and what is the best. And all I can make is this: chess.com has that Neo set, but lichess needs a OG merida looking set, classical, clean. It also needs a color pallete of its own. But it's hard. I even think a new logo is must do. I am happy to help with everything but from time to time I am very radical and ornicar knows better what the lichess community wants and needs are.

The app will kickass. So why not take this moment and revamp the lichess art a bit?
